LED streetlights have been shown to use up to 50 percent less energy while lasting 10 times longer than traditional streetlights. An American Reinvestment and Recovery Act grant is allowing for an LED Streetlight Pilot Program to retrofit a total of 430 streetlights throughout the community. Recently, nearly 300 streetlights along larger roads were retrofitted. This summer, in collaboration with Colorado Springs Utilities, the program is expanding with 130 LED streetlight retrofits in residential neighborhoods. The City is using social media and events to conduct drawings from the general public to designate those locations ? 30 of the streetlights are already in place. Baseball fans at Sky Sox games on July 19and Aug. 9 will see a LED streetlight demonstration and have the chance to win because saving energy is a home run!.
